Sending Messages Inside the Game

How to send Messages: Type 'm' or put your mouse cursor in the
outgoing message window. On the Windows and Linux clients, it is
the upper of the two thin one-line windows labeled "Typing" in the
above diagram. This will be right below either the galactic or
the tactical screen in most layouts. MacTrek has a text entry box
in the middle of the right side of the screen.

Type the letter for who you want to send to:

A

Send to All (Everyone!)

t

Send to your own team

0-9, a-j

Message is sent to player of that number/letter

F,K,R,O

Send to Federation, Klingons, Romulans or Orions

Type now your message followed by enter. Use the Esc key to cancel a message before sending it.

In most clients, you also can start a team message by putting your mouse
pointer in the team message window, and an "All" message by putting the
pointer in the "All" window.

In Windows clients, you can start a message to a player by putting your mouse
pointer over that player's entry in the playerlist window.
